Friendly waiting staff
Friendly service—spontaneous or extra discreet on request! Of course, you want your guests to be served professionally and not lack anything, but you also want them to feel truly welcome and approached in the right way. The approach naturally varies depending on the type of event: what works at a business expo stand in the RAI is different from a football match or an intimate birthday party at home. The staff we provide for your event is always thoroughly briefed and knows exactly what is expected of them. Thanks to their experience and flexibility, they instinctively adapt to the atmosphere of your event and the needs of your guests.
Experienced or junior chefs
Depending on the culinary depth of your event, we can provide a junior, medior, or senior chef. We are sometimes approached by fellow caterers requesting additional chefs to assist with large-scale productions. Additionally, we frequently receive requests for a single chef to prepare and serve an intimate dinner at home. If we are informed in advance and can accommodate it in our schedule, we are more than happy to assist!
